OLTL: Robin Strasser talks about Ron Carlivati on her hotline

I am concerned as well. His quote record doesn't instill a tremendous amount of confidence, even accounting for towing the party line. Yelling at cast members publicly, the number of times we hear actors/cast having no idea where story/contracts are headed, the infamous 'we made no mistakes last year,' the IWBASS fiasco, and all the loud, public contract negotiations. At best he is an inept toady, at worst....a willing and even 'visionary' participant in the mess that is now OLTL. FV should go back to directing, which he does do well.

Agree. I'm a little hopeful with Ron C being on site as opposed to California and with his length of time with the show. But since he was promoted by FV and owes his job to him, I'm somewhat concerned that he's just a puppet. It would help if we knew where all the sicko stuff was coming from. Both of the headwriters since FV became EP have had some sicko storylines although Higley's are worse IMO because she is terribly flawed as a writer and didn't know and care about the show's history.
